Behind the scenes of the next Mirror’s Edge

Electronic Arts and DICE provided a behind the scenes look at development on the next Mirror’s Edge at its press conference this afternoon.

The game is progressing “nicely,” according to the game’s senior producer Sara Jansson.

“Mirror’s Edge is all about fluidity, physicality and movement,” Jansson said in a blog post. “We want to make sure we evolve the game and Faith in a way that gives you an exciting new player experience. We want the game to be accessible enough to embrace new players while at the same time reward the skilled player.

“We are also committed to provide the best 1st person close combat in the world. Advanced combat that is integrated into an improved fluidity of movement. These are not small undertakings, but they are challenges that we are up for.”
